Our Web And Tech Chair was Dave Forgac. Dave is a long-time PyOhio supporter and handled the website, T-shirt campaigns, registration systems, badge printing, and probably 50 other tasks in the background. Thank you! #PyOhio #Python #Conference #ThankYou

And we won't forget Mike Pirnat, who wants to pretend he isn't on the Organizer team but totally is. 😉 Mike ran around helping everyone else throughout the event, volunteering, taking photos, and we appreciate you. Thank you! #PyOhio #Python #Conference #ThankYou

At the event, we're all pretty busy, so we'd never be able to keep up if it weren't for our on-site volunteers . These fine people went the extra mile to help our speakers, attendees, and videographer so that everything could run smoothly. Thank you! 🎉 #PyOhio #Python #Conference #ThankYou

Our Community Partner for 2026 (as well as for the last several years) was the Black Python Devs organization. Thank you so much for your continued support! #PyOhio #Python #Conference #ThankYou

Of course, as much as we might wish it, we couldn't do #PyOhio without funding. To that end, we'd like to thank our Bronze Sponsor, @sixfeetup.com Thank you for enabling our event, and thank you for sending several attendees as well! #Python #Conference #ThankYou

We would be remiss if we didn't give a special shout out to our Videographer for #PyOhio 2026, @elainew.bsky.social. Elaine stepped up for us in a pinch - without Elaine's help, we would have no recordings of our talks this year. Sincerely, Elaine, Thank You! 🙏 #Python #Conference #ThankYou

#PyOhio 2026 has ended, and we've all headed back home, or on to our next adventures. It's time to roll the credits for this year's event, and thank all those involved. Many people united to help us make this event possible, and it's important to recognize them. #Python #Conference #ThankYou

It's bittersweet, but #PyOhio is done for another year. It's been a wonderful time to speak, learn, and meet all sorts of people. To all our attendees - thanks so much for coming, and please travel safely, wherever your adventures take you next! 🙏 #Python #Conference

Videographer: our equipment is already set up, we just need folks to watch it and make sure it's working. Just let someone know if a problem pops up!

Green Room: sit in the speaker's prep room and help speakers with whatever they might need. Registration: help people get their badge, and answer general questions.

We're looking for the following roles: Session Chair: sit in the talks room, make sure speakers are in the right place, introduce them, and keep time for them. As a bonus you get to listen to the talks!

It's the first day of #PyOhio! 🚀 Our Organizers have been working hard to get registration ready for you! Come by the desk to get your badge starting at 8:00 this morning! #Python #Conference
